   Tutanota is end-to-end encrypted, as well offers 1 GB mail storage on free plan. The pro plans are cheap compared to protonmail, so it's better for low budget users

   Tutanota has historically been a lot more transparent, and arguably has been more honest about issues and plans

   Proton is not confidential at all, because it is under the influence of the EU. The best thing you can find for anonymous messaging and file sharing is the Utopia ecosystem (U.IS)

    Vivaldi Mail vs Proton Mail Comments

    Vivaldi mail offers PGP-based email encryption, similar to Protonmail. But the web client is much less well developed. However, unlike Protonmail (at the time of writing), they allow you to import your own PGP keys, which is nice (a feature Protonmail users have been demanding for years).

    Zoho Mail vs Proton Mail Comments

    The whole point of switching to an encrypted email provider (Protonmail, Tutanota, etc.) is to avoid the prying eyes of the company's techies, government surveillance and hackers to breach the servers. Zoho Mail doesn't encrypt your email, so it doesn't offer that security or privacy.
